BARN-YARD MANURE.
C0nditiUHs Essential to the Saving Of Its
Valuable Ingredients.


Valuable Ingredients.
In recent report OF the Ohio State
Board of Agriculture the professor of
agricultural chemistry, H. A. Weber,
In paper ON barn.yard manure. very
truly said that the proper treatment Of
barn-yard manure is matter Of Pc
cuniary interest to the farmer, Gin
order to produce good manure with
out the loss of valuable ingredients
certain conditions must be supplied"
These conditions, Prof Weber claimed.
are;
l. The stable floor must be impervi-
Gus to water aud should be of con-
crete, clay, brick Or plank.
2. Enough bedding should be used
to completely absorb tho liquid excre.
ments. STRAW Is the best bedding"
The amount of bedding should be equal
to one-fourth of the drv matter Of the
feed given. "This would, in general, be
about six to six and half pounds for
every 1000 pounds of live weight OF
stock per day."
8. Where the manure is allowed to
accumulate in the stable, it is often
necessary to employ somo absorbent
for the escaping ammonia. The best
absorbents arc muck and soil sprinkled
over the surface from time to time.
When these can not be had. the follow
ing substances may be employed: Gyp.
sum or land plaster. one-half pound
per day for every 1000 po''nds live
weight. Sulphuric acid, ono part to
1000 parts Of water One pint of this
mixture per week will be sufficient for
each animal.
4. Where stables are daily cleaned.
a manure pit for the preservation OF
manure should DO provided. This pit.
according to Prof Weber's views.
should have double stable surface.
should be 2 feet deep and have wall
or ridge around the outside, at least a
foot higher than the surrounding sur
face, in order to exclude water during
rains. The bottom of this pit should
be impervious to water so as to pre-
vent loss OF the soluble constituents.
He advises that the manure be spread
over the whole pit and not piled up ss
ono point. Hero it will be kept moist.
which prevents heating. and all the
saleable Ingredients will be preserved.

There is ali industry which am surprised
has never been started in this city," said HI
old citizen the other day, and that is frul'
and vegetable canning. Fremont, Lima,
Xenia and numerous other Ohio cities, have
extensive fruit canning establishments, and
they all have as much ss they can do. This
is one of the few lines of manufacturing,
if it can be called manufacturing, which are
not overdone. Ii is said that there never
has been over production of canned goods,
owing 10 the enormous and increasing de-
mand for these goods. Ii is only in the
past decade that this canning business has
assumed such prominence in this country.
Now il impossible 10 mention any article
of food which is not canned. Every kind
Of fruit and vegetable, every variety Of
dsh and meat, is neatly barreled up. and
can be shipped To the ends OF the earth for
consumption.
The demand for corn, beans. tomatoes
and other vegetables is enormous. and the
hotels and boarding houses of the country
alone are sufficient To- sustain a vast trade
in canned goods. The home trade in
Springfield is sufficiently large TO take the
entire output OF a large canning factory.
Ii is said that the canning factory AT Nenia
which has been ia operation for
three OF four years. has already
contracted in advance for lis output of the
approaching season. They have already
contracted for the products from hundreds
of acres of tomatoes, corn, beans. etc. and
will have a busy season. The other ,.an-
ming factories throughout the state are all
active, and many OF them will douhle their
capacities this season
One OF the fruit Gamers al Liraa has
made handsome fortune ia the business
Ii Is probable that but a short time will
elapse before 4 canning factory Is esiab
lished in Springfield, a. the capital required
Is not near so large a. that required in other
manufacturing enterprises. Springfield Is
surrounded 10y n good vegetable producing
country, and Immense amounts of produce

One advantage of operating such an in
dustry in Springfield would be that il would
furnish employment for women during the
summer months when quite u large fOice i
employed.
The Springfield wholesale grocers are
very good customers of the Nenia corn fac
fOry and get many goods from other Ohio
canneries. All this trade could he reserved

Springheld'S capital, enterprise and market
